New Zealand workplace Diversity Survey 2019

Diversity, in all its manifestations, is an important part of New Zealand society and the country’s contemporary business environment. The New Zealand Workplace Diversity Survey is an annual record of how New Zealand firms and organisations see and respond to diversity. The survey aims to contribute to public understanding and debate, and seeks to highlight both good practice and what needs further attention. Such debate is important to make sure that organisations are attuned to diversity among their workforce, their clients, and the communities they serve. We may think of this in terms of making the most of the benefits diversity is said to bring, but equally and perhaps more importantly, we need to think of this in terms of the responsibilities organisations have to create and maintain inclusive and nondiscriminatory work places.
